Territory and wine style

This wine is made from Barbera grapes sourced from the vineyards of Rocchetta Tanaro, in Piedmont, in the heart of the Barbera d’Asti DOCG denomination. The territory imparts the typical energy of the grape variety, combined with a more mature and profound character thanks to the work in the cellar and aging in wood. The choice of 225-liter oak barrels and the subsequent bottling contribute to defining a full, harmonious, and modern style, without sacrificing the traditional identity of Piedmontese Barbera.

Tasting notes

It is a Barbera d’Asti DOCG of strong impact, yet always measured and elegant.
